1 Step Crimper from Bead Buddy
OK, this thing looks a little odd but it works like a charm! They promise "Perfect crimps in 1 squeeze!" and the clever gadget delivers just that. String the wire and clasp through a regular crimp tube or crimp bead as usual. Then place the crimp tube under the extra little lever before squeezing the two larger handles together. Watch the video available at www.beadbuddy.net to see it in action then ask for one at your local bead shop. |
